Great article. and i agree artists/creatives won’t b training the foundation models but they’ll b surfing their waves of power 🏄🏾 shoutout ed catmull understanding the importance of getting the both to work together and respect each other 💯

i’m building something like this, so this piece resonates quite a bit i’m with you on the bet, i’d expect most studios/solo creators will have their own stack of software, models, and human inputs that said, i don’t know what happens to pixar when small studios can produce similar or better stories

hmmm... first off, i don't know how you find out about these very interesting events XD. Second I think there is probably a way to crowdsource distributed compute for training a large open model. I don't really know if we need a pixar of AI to emerge in the exact sense. I feel like there are already going to be so many powerful tools that literal randoms across the internet will be able to make great work. Back in the day 3D and VFX was so inaccessible but now its practically free if you can get a PC to run it. AI similarly is available via some cheap subscriptions, I'm not sure companies to do this stuff will even be necessary when you can create short films on a weekend.
